Teen Counselor Positions

There are 14 volunteer teen counselor positions, which will be an application process. Teens, ages 14+, with food allergies, eosinophilic disorders, FPIES, Celiac disease, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and asthma or a non-allergic teen sibling, may apply to be a teen counselor. Camp TAG provides 1-3 counselors for every 5-9 children. We'd really like to see the teens apply for counselor positions because they can relate to the campers and act as mentors.

Teens receive community service hours for their time, which averages about 35-40 hours for the week. Teen counselors will be notified once applications are reviewed. Once accepted, there is a $135 activity fee for teen counselors to be paid via FAACT's secured PayPal (please do NOT pay this fee until the teen application has been approved).

Download the teen counselor application/health form and the Camp Widjiwagan waiver starting January 1, 2024.
